Natmral Gas.

A correspondent Of the Inter OceaR writes
from La Noble, Aug. 20th, The following
on the natural gas found in that neighbor-
hood
Mr.. George Wendell, four miles east of
this place, had been experimenting for
some weeks in boring for water. -Four
holes have been bored, varying in depth
from 100 to 100 feet, Boulders caused the
abandonment of three of them, when the
location was changed about three rods, and
work commenced again. When depth
of 200 feet had been reached gas came in
great volume, and is roaring away with a
noise like the safety valve OF locomotive.
The we'll is situated near the railroad, and
the sound of escaping gas hides the sound
of passing train. The gas comes from
the drift in the clay formation and from an
unknown depth above the bed rock. What
that bed rock may be is still an unsolved
problem, but the well-bOrer says that in a
we'll three quarters of mile west he found
abundant OF coal blossoms. The we'll sp0k.
en- of is to totally dry, and the volumn of
gas is larger than anything found in this
community, and will compare with the
Marriott well as a six pound PARROT gun TO
musket. MENDOZA will he lighted with
natural gas before the snow flies, and La
Noble at any time the citizens will go
down y little WY 10 get If.
The lnding Of gas in such quantity as
reported upsets all the approved dfcto and
theories of the geolcgists-those fellows
who know everything about rocks and
everything eise,-who announced that
there was no gas up that way that would
be worth digging for; 50 that the fact that
the biologists say there is no likelihood of
finding gas in other parts of tsis country,
does not cut the slightest figurs. 1t has to
be hunted for however; as paying gas wells
do not dig themselves.

From Aurora to Ottawa, Fox River Valley
is noted for its picturesque and romantic
scenery. Caves, grottos, terraces Of ever
greens, bald anu ragged outlines, or smooth
faces o; the rocky cliffs, everywhere greet
the eye, and little glCns are disclosed here
aud there, or expansive lawns fringcd by
graceful trees occasionally the vista ends in
dense mass of foliage, at the mouth of
some ravine, whose dark reccSscs suggest
the bowers Of wood nymphs, the dwellings
Of brownies, the home OF tie tauns and
dryGds of the woods. In places, rs mt Mill

and instead of the sharp outlines of the
rocky walls, which line the river farther
down to its mouth, at that point the bluffs
are rounded into graceful curves and GOV.

The valley wdens into a level plateau, where
gardens grow luxuriously with shrubs and
flowers, aud fields Of grain are respectable

absence of timber in the valley, and its
sparsty on the hills, leaves the view unob-

1851. Since that time il has been a
weekly until by order Of the reigning EN-

three editions, morning, midday and

and is printed on yellow paper. This
issue il called Hsing- Pau Business Sheet
and contains trade prices, exchange
quotationes and all manner OF CONNER
cial intelligence. It's circulation is a lit
tie over 5000. The. second edition,
which comes out during the forenoon, also

official announcements, fashionable in
telligence and general news. Besides its
ancient title Of King-Pau, it owns an
other designation, that OF Shuen-Pau or
"Official Sheet" The third edition APP
pears late in the afternoon, is printed on
red paper and bears the name OF Tilani-
Pau Country Sheet. IL consists OF ex-
tracts from the earlier editions and Is

AIRED by the Chinese State. The total
number OF copies printed daily varies be-
tween $4,000 and 1000.

a short time ago and the story is really
worth being told here, as some OF my
readers may some day have dealings with
the unprincipalled victimizer. Some
months ago decided to prepare n his
tory Of the great Crystal Falls iron dis
trict from the time OF its opening To the
present, and illustrateit,with maps, dia-
grams, etc. Accordingly started TO
work out map. A friend came to my
assistance and kindly offered TO prepare
the map and save me the trouble and
labor attending such an undertaking.
Knowing that the work would be well
done by my friend ] accepted his very
liberal offer and lac began and prepared
the map, which was beauty, showing
to good advantage all Of the mines and
prominent explorations in this district.
The map was indeed well and carefully
gotten up Ii was then forwarded TO
Henry r. King, OF the firm OF King
Fowle & Katz, publishers, OF Milwaukee,
who, think, imagines himself the king

took the map and had hall dozen or so
OF them electrotyped; this took "A month
OF his time. In the meantime had been
engaged in working on my history, hav-
ing the mines pictured, etc. ] finally got
tired OF waiting on this king and going TO
my friend asked what had became Of our
map, and was told that King had been
away from home but would attend TO it
at once This conversation took place
early one week. The following Saturday
received paper published at Florence
and the first thing noticed was my map.
Was mad? No, course not. The next
day got the Milwaukee Mining Report

published On the following Monday an
electrotype of the map was sent Co me,
which OF course ! would not accept, as /
